28993: Scheerhorn (ask) solar cooking (fwd)
From: Lynn Scheerhorn <lscheerhorn@ohiocitizen.org>
If any of you have connections or information regarding solar cooking programs
in Les Cayes, please e-mail me. I am traveling to Les Cayes the end of October
and I am hoping to visit a few sites that currently have a program in place.
I am excited about this as a project, because it will benefit people in more
than one way.
Longer term I would like to see an increase in the use of solar panels to
provide electricity for homes. So far I have only seen these used as a free
standing panel, and I understand that theft is the biggest issue there.
Have solar panels been incorporated into the design and building of homes in
Haiti? I am asking because if they could be incorporated into the
architecture of the home, they would be "fixed in place" and perhaps not
stolen.
Please pass on any info you have knowledge of regarding solar programs in
Haiti, and particularly Les Cayes. Thanks! Lynn
